Lunch Bunch is our free monthly webinar series designed to keep you informed, inspired, and connected. Held during the lunch hour, these sessions are led by seasoned professionals who bring expertise, clarity, and a touch of humor to even the most complex workplace topics. Each session is presented in a casual, conversational style—more like a thoughtful discussion with colleagues than a formal training. We cover timely issues facing today’s workplaces, share real-world scenarios, and offer practical takeaways you can put to use right away. Whether you’re deep in HR or just brushing up on best practices, Lunch Bunch is a great way to explore fresh ideas, learn from others, and stay current—without giving up your whole day. So grab your lunch, log in, and join us for a smart, approachable conversation that makes HR feel a little more human.

Keeping the Flame Alive: Resilience, Purpose, and Positivity

November 4th, 2026 | 12:00pm to 1:00pm | Deborah Jeffries, SHRM-CP, SCP, CPC | Free

Special Guest: Brandon Byars | The Byars Group

Even the most passionate and committed people can lose their spark. Stress, constant change, and everyday pressures can slowly drain our energy, optimism, and sense of purpose. This energizing session explores how to build resilience, navigate adversity, and regain perspective when things get tough. Participants will reconnect with what motivates them and discover practical ways to protect their energy and stay grounded. Most importantly, they’ll leave reminded that resilience isn’t just about pushing through—it’s about finding the fuel to keep moving forward.

We look forward to your participation — and to hearing your experiences, observations, and insights about what you’re seeing in yourself and other in your organizations. Join us for a meaningful discussion that blends real-world scenarios, some reflective thoughts and remarks that you can take back and share with employees in your workplace.

When Someone Is Struggling With Substances: Creating a Workplace Where It Is Safe to Ask for Help

December 2nd, 2026 | 12:00pm to 1:00pm | Deborah Jeffries, SHRM-CP, SCP, CPC | Free

Special Guest: Rachelle Hogue, Operations Manager, HR Answers

How can workplaces encourage employees to ask for help while maintaining accountability and safety? Join us for a one-hour, open conversation with fellow professionals over the lunch hour. Together, we’ll explore what builds trust, how managers can respond with compassion, and where EAP resources can offer support. 

The conversation will be co-facilitated by Rachelle Hogue, Operations Manager at HR Answers and a trained volunteer meeting facilitator for SMART Recovery Friends and Family. Through her role at HRA, Rachelle has observed the challenges employers can face when substance use concerns affect the workplace. She brings that perspective to a welcoming discussion where participants can share experiences, ask questions, and learn from one another.
